The Hand Lever Valve is a manually actuated directional control valve designed to regulate the flow of compressed air in industrial pneumatic systems. It typically comes in 3/2-way (three-port, two-position) or 5/2-way (five-port, two-position) configurations, making it suitable for operating both single-acting and double-acting cylinders.

Operated by a mechanical lever, this valve allows for precise and reliable switching of air flow paths with minimal effort. It is particularly useful in environments where manual intervention is necessary or where electrical actuation is not ideal, such as in workshops, maintenance zones, and ATEX-rated areas.

Available in port sizes ranging from 1/8" to 1/2" BSP/NPT, the Hand Lever Valve supports working pressures up to 10 bar, making it suitable for light to heavy-duty applications. The valve body is made from anodized aluminum, zinc alloy, or brass, and is fitted with NBR seals (with optional FKM/Viton), ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding environments.
